About M500 series engines
M500 series marine high-speed engines were produced at the Leningrad plant "Zvezda" in the 1950s. Power units were used on small missile ships, anti-submarine ships, and sea minesweepers. Now KMZ is repairing them, and also developing modern automated control systems (ACS).
